Crushed Gemstone Tables

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Artist Samuel Amoia Creates Furniture Pieces Adorned With Precious Rocks

— May 12, 2016 — Art & Design
Samuel Amoia is a talented interior designer that has put together an exclusive line of furniture for New York's Delorenzo Gallery that is covered in crushed precious rocks. The collection features specially designed coffee tables with geometric shapes and forms that are adorned in crushed gemstones to create a glittering effect.

The movables are unique in style, opting for an overlay made from crushed onyx, lapis lazuli and brushed shavings to give the tables a texturized effect. The raw elements are contrasted with the softness of the table forms that opt for slender legs and rounded edges. The entire table is dipped in the crushed gemstones, turning the furniture piece into a functional unit as well as a stunning piece of art. The tables vary in sizes from coffee to side tables.
